Gold Scorpio Astrology Necklace by Yasmin Everley

In Ancient Greece, the story of Scorpio is told in different versions of the myth of the great hunter Orion. In one, he comes across the seven daughters of Altas and Pleione and tries to pursue them. When they cry out to Zeus for help he transforms the sisters into the stars known as the Pleiades and causes a scorpion to kill Orion with its venomous sting who is then placed to protect them in the stars.

From Astrology, the pendant takes the form of a circle, which the Ancient Greeks considered the most geometrically perfect shape. It holds a cluster of the stars, forming a constellation, which is held suspended in space by delicate wire. The side view shows Sagittarius to illustrates the three dimensional nature of the design.
